It seems fairly obvious to me that the Leopard shown on apple.com is not giving us the full show (in addition to the fact that, you know, they *said* this wasn't all that Leopard w…

They should have changed their banners to read "Tiger 2.0." HTML E-mail bloat? Dashboard goodies? iChat backdrops? This is the best they could do? Spaces? Welcome to the part…

Personally, I like the automatic backup part and Mail's Notes feature best. Apparently the New Finder
hasn't been included yet, so there seems to be more to come. I wonder whether…

spaces looks nice, but isnt there an app out there thats just like this?

Was anybody expecting ZFS or Ogg support?

Surely developers have to sign some form of NDA!? It's only a few hours since the keynote, and I've already seen the Leopard preview, and the Mac Pro service manual on a torrent s…

Need help convincing myself I did the right thing, which I know I probably didn't in terms of value for money. But I'm rationalizing it thus... I did some calculations and the…

IF you bumped up the ram (above 2 GB), and the GPU to go along with those monster cpus, then you WILL be quite surprised at the 3D performance improvements.... if NOT, then you w…

Yes, good point, can never have enough RAM and a good GPU is a must for 3D, but for the CPU I was thinking more Final Cut than actual 3D interface manipulation (OpenGL etc). Rende…

my ideal quad xeon setup would be 19.000 euro's but i have 1000,00 to spend.

3Ghz is nice, but it should be a $400 upgrade (using Intel list prices), not $800. You can always upgrade the CPUs after AppleCare runs out, so I would have bought more RAM (but no…

I'll likely wait until the first Mac Pro speed bump, then pick up a quad 3.0GHz machine when they're the mid-range machine.

Heh... it wouldn't surprise me if Apple dropped the 3.0 and introduced a 3.4 and a 2.8.

The top of the line is always disproportionate. Apple is no different than anybody else here. And of course they're not going to just charge you the increase in Intel 1k prices. Th…

I wouldn't be worried about that, if I got a mac pro, I would be worried about bragging to all my friends about it.

That'll go on forever until the 3.0 are not even on the product map... of course I use the SAME logic waiting to get a lowly MacBook... Quote: Originally Posted by Cadaver I'l…

You did the right thing. That 3.0 Ghz machine is going to rock, and you're going to be one of the first to have it. I wish I had one. That's going to be freakin' awesome. Frankly, …
